Hi,
I posted on here a while ago and got some good advice from John, Rmberg and Amanda.
I want to share our success story incase it helps anyone else.
My partner was a failed asylum seeker, been here since 2000, asylum claim rejected 2003. He never left the UK, in 2006 he was caught with a false passport, he didn't actually use the passport for anything (travel, illegal working etc). He was in a detention centre for a few weeks then we got him bail.
We intended to travel to his home country, marry and apply for a spouse visa, but this proved impossible because his embassy refused to issue a travel document or passport and he had no-one left in his home country who could get him a passport from there.
So our solicitor advised an in-country application for leave to remain was our only option. In december 2006 we sent off the form and piles of evidence, bank statements, pay-slips, mortgage statement, proof of relationship etc. Then we waited!
Three weeks ago we had a letter from home office (managed migration Liverpool office) asking for up-to-date evidence of finances, proof of cohabiting etc so we sent all that off. Finally this morning we had the news that he has been given 3 years discretionary leave!
Hope this helps somebody and thanks again for the help that I have had.
Good Luck all
